This Saturday, in order to bring the atomic clock-based Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in line with Universal Time (UT), which is based on the gradually slowing rotation of the earth, a leap second will be added to the last minute of the day.
It’ll be the 25th leap second added since 1972 by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service.

It is normal to find that a software update has caused a problem; IT staff expect to back out in such cases. But in the process of backing out a major blunder was committed, according to our source. It was this error which made the task of restoring services so prolonged:
When they did the back-out, a major error was made. An inexperienced person cleared the whole queue…they erased all the scheduling.
Ouch.
Job adverts show that at least some of the team responsible for the blunder were recruited earlier this year in India following IT job cuts at RBS in the UK.
But like a true banker:
